The parts to repair a worn multi disk set up are hard to find and expensive if you do find them since they weren't used very long.
It does look like the flywheel internal splines are badly worn which is common for a well used unit. Just finding a flywheel that is good may be a big problem. I'm not sure if anyone could repair those or not. It wouldn't be easy for sure.
If a person isn't concerned about originality, the whole system can be replaced with the more common single disk set up but it is a big job. At least parts are available for them though.

Everything Rotorwrench said here is correct. From my own experience with an early '28 multi-disk clutch, early flyewheel and transmission.
